Dr. Everett offered important advice, including: "As long as you are ready to ALWAYS pay all your bills on-time from now on, it should only take a year for most people to increase their credit score enough to get a normal credit card with lower rates and fees" and "The biggest mistake that people make is not fully understanding all the fees prior to opening the account, especially any fees that kick in AFTER the introductory period."
